The WVR POA Board of Directors is not trying to make access to the meetings or documents less convenient for any member. We are however doing our best to ensure only members have access. As part of that effort we are asking members to provide information that allows us to verify WVR ownership so that only current WVR members have access to the meetings and information that is designated as members only.

Due to our current capacity and technical limits it is easiest for us to use your 8 digit parcel number and a search of county records for identification. For the Zoom meeting we only get an access/pass code when the meeting is created and that only happens prior to each meeting, there are no recurring access codes. The same principle of security and limiting access to only WVR association members applies to WVR documents that belong to and are open for membership access, such as meeting minutes and financials. Access to these materials is for WVR association members only and not for public consumption. If you would like to be added to a monthly email list for meeting access, current meeting minutes and financial reports, please send an email to wvrboard@woodlandvalleyranchaz.com with your name and 8 digit parcel number.

Thank you

July 24, 2020 Well Testing Report has been posted to the Links and Resources Page.

July 15, 2020 At the regular meeting of the Board, It has been determined that the Well has been at half capacity or approximately 5000 gal. Members with Water Totes in the back of a pick-up truck or high ground clearance trailers may not be able to fill their tote. As this issue is most apparent on weekend, we are asking Full time / Part time residence members to try to draw water during the week (Tuesday thru Thursday. The Board believes this will allow for our weekend members to draw water. Well information and Updates can be found here.

June 1, 2020 Special announcement regarding the up coming June 13, 2020 Membership Meeting.

Ed spoke with the Fire Chief regarding the June 13^th Membership meeting, and she had the following advice,
1. Have everyone bring chairs and socially distance 6' apart and wear masks
2. Serve no food.

This year, out of an abundance of caution and stewardship of the POA, please provide your own food and drink to the June 13th POA meeting.

Also discussed were the WVR roads, she said that the best thing we could do is get rid of all of the WVR Road name signs. This is not an option.
She explained that when people call 911, they do not use the 911 addresses but use WVR road names, and that is not helpful at all because EMS uses 911 addresses.
Then she said if the person who needs treatment can stand and walk, put them in a car and meet EMS at St Hwy 191. It will save them $15 per mile too.
This does not help Fire nor Sheriff, though. Having 911 signs at your driveway will. Home Depot can make the 911 signs. Concho Fire Dept is working with Home Depot on this.

April 4, 2020 The new culvert on Main Street just East of CR6268 has been installed. The covering soil will be allowed to settle with the weather headed in later in the week. Stay away from the edges. T posts will be installed at the culvert in the near future.

A number of washes in the Rincon Vally along Sweet water, Rincon, Houchens, Debra Ln, and Crossfire were attended to after a member advised that there were, "Wow, Oh Dear and Yikes" washouts. Pinon did this work on Sunday, March 29, 2020 as emergency repairs. They are passable now.
There was a difficult section of Anasazi reported South of the Corrizo wash near the "Blue hill" that Pinon also fixed last week.

February, 2020

There appears to have been some problems with delivery of the WVR POA Dues invoices. Many members have yet to receive the notices.

I spoke with Chris York of TRT today about POA members not receiving the POA Dues invoices.

She said she sent everything out in December and has not received any postal notices of failure to deliver. She has also been concerned with the high number of inquiries she has received from members who did not receive their invoices. At the same time she has received payments from many members so some of the invoices were delivered.

What she recommends is that if you have not received your WVR POA Dues invoice that you email her with your full name and parcel number(s) at

cyork@trtmanagement.com

She will email you back your invoice. Included in that email will be a link where you can pay your dues online by check for free. If you pay by credit card there is a fee so use the check method.

We also spoke about waiving any penalty for payments after the February 28th (or 29th leap year??) deadline. This is a glitch that appears to be a result of the Post Office and not TRT nor the POA Board. And it certainly is not the fault of the members. There should be no penalty to the members for this. I will formalize the waiving of fees with the other board members this afternoon. Once approved I will advise in comment to this posting.

The POA Board will also post this notice on the WVR POA Web and Facebook spaces.

A NOTE ABOUT ROADS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER

Woodland Valley roads suffer very badly when it rains and more so when it snows. Snow melts but doesn't soak into the road surface as fast as rain because of cold temperatures, it doesn't evaporate much at all for the same reason. The roads here will likely be very slushy because of freeze and thaw, re-freezing, thawing again, the more the roads are used the more rutted they will become.

The sound advice is to stay at home if you live at the ranch full time and not go anywhere until conditions are favorable. That means a full melt off with some time for drying of the road surface. If you don't live at the ranch it is advisable to not come here at all until full melt off and drying of the roads. It may take just a few days or it may take weeks. If it continues to snow, then more time will be required for smooth travel with no problems.

The biggest problem is that if the roads are driven more than an absolutely necessary, severe rutting of the road means we either grade the roads again when conditions are favorable (and that could be months away) or they don't get graded at all until next November. The simplest and most economical solution is to just stay put and don't drive if it isn't absolutely necessary.

Some folks need to drive the roads even when they are messy. Try to drive early when they are frozen to minimize the tire ruts if possible. Be careful at all times and do not go fast. We have all seen cars and trucks get thrown sideways by the wet rutted roads.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping reduce road maintenance costs and helping keep the roads in a safer condition for those that absolutely must travel on them right now.
